Dozens of decorated vehicles made their way through Greater Victoria in the rain, which didn’t deter thousands of onlookers from gathering on the streets from James Bay to the West Shore to watch the big trucks roll by.

In Oak Bay families and friends gather in the village or along Beach Drive to see the trucks roll through. At municipal hall, where the Oak Bay Business Improvement Association hosts activities, the 2017 haul was impressive for the Mustard Seed food bank.

Residents donated 1,403 pounds of food, which equates to about $3,507.50 worth according to Mustard Seed. The community also collected $1,225.44 in cash.
